CSLI - NEOH presents
Lives of the Inklings: Biography as Story - A Pastor's Luncheon with Dr. David Downing

On November 10th C.S. Lewis Institute Northeast Ohio is excited to co-host with The Center for Christian Faith and Culture at Malone University, as we welcome pastor's and church leaders to join us for a free lunch and time of fellowship as we learn from Prof. David Downing, co-director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, about "The Lives of the Inklings: Biography as Story."

The works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, and Charles Williams remain beloved by generations through the years, and the story of their remarkable friendship only adds a further rich layer to the beauty of their writings. You won't want to miss this wonderful talk, which also leads into our evening lecture from Prof. Crystal Downing on Dorothy Sayers’ theological writings and the friendship she shared with C.S. Lewis.

Location: Malone University, Johnson Center 106 | 2600 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, OH 44709
